Foundations of Mac Programming

Rating:
Summary: Great Book-
Review: "Foundations of Mac Programming" is a spectacular book that will give the burgeoning mac programmer a fine backround in the subject. A minimal knowledge of C is required to understand what this book teaches. This book will indeed provide a firm foundation, though it does not get overly detailed in terms of graphics and files, thus more seasoned macintosh programmer will not benefit much from it.

Rating:
Summary: Good, but lacking a real foundation.
Review: Get the basics of C down then this book gets you going real fast. The CodeWarrior(CW) examples on the CD need to be updated for current CW but this is easy to do. Each chapter focuses on a Mac Toolbox Manager. It's up to you to start "playing around" by combining different Toolboxes together. I really got alot out of the book. The author also writes for MacTech magazine every month with Dave Marks.

Summary: Good, but lacking a real foundation.
Review: Teaches Mac C, but leaves out the basics of C. I recommend getting "Learn C on the Macintosh", by Dave Mark instead. When you've read that, come back to this book.

Summary: Great book on the Mac toolbox!
Review: This book tells you how to get started making your own Mac programs.

To use this book, you should know C or C++.

I highly recommend this book to people new to the Mac toolbox.
